access code will be deactivated and your child will not be allowed to attend if you have not paid
by Monday of the following week (you are not allowed to be more than one week behind). Any
variation from this policy must be made in advance with the Financial Administrator or Director.
There will be a $10.00 fee assessed for returned checks. This is the amount that the bank charges
us so, we pass that cost onto you. If your family has two returned checks, you will be required to
pay with cash or money order ONLY!

LATE PICK-UP POLICY
All children must be picked up by 6:00pm. PKLC does not have any allowance in the budget for
overtime. A $5.00 fee will be assessed for each five-minute unit after 6:00pm per child. If you
are late more than three times, the late fee is doubled and remains doubled for your family. In the
case of emergency, when tardiness is unavoidable, please notify PKLC staff be telephone. If you
are seriously late, 6:30 or later, and we are not able to reach you or any person on your
authorized pick-up list, we will be forced to contact DHHS or another appropriate authority. If
our hours do not fit into your family schedule and you are consistently late to pick-up your child,
you will be asked to withdraw your child from care.
VACATION TIME
Families are eligible vacation time after three months of enrollment. One full week of vacation is
allowed per calendar year during which tuition is not required and your child does not attend. If
your child is absent beyond this one week, you will be charged tuition.
WITHDRAWAL
If you chose to withdraw your child from care for any reason, you are required to give a two
week written notice. If you do not give a two week notice, your account may still be charged for
that time. Any accounts with balances owed will be sent to a collection agency to assist with
recovering any monies owed to PKLC.
HEALTH
We strictly follow the guidelines set by the State of Arkansas Department of Health & Human
Services concerning health issues and exclusions. Our health policy is enforced to protect all
children in our care as well as our staff. While it may, at times, be an inconvenience to you to
